Please remember our fight is not with the teabaggers! |
|
It is with their masters.

3. They don't give their masters power. Their masters *have* power; they just |
|
provide a smokescreen so the masters can claim that power has some "democratic" basis.
But even without them, their masters would still have power; the iron fist vs. the velvet glove of pseudo-democracy.

Without a mass moving to their direction, they are simply individuals like anyone else. It is the people they can buy, and by their buying, achieve the deception and or the coercion of others, which gives them their power in society.

5. whether or not the teabaggers follow -- i.e. whether or not there's some rank & file support base |
|
behind murdoch, koch, scaife, etc -- they still own the resource base.
they don't need the simulacrum of a democratic following; their power exists independent of it.

7. Ownership,Ma'am, is A Fiction, Without Recourse To Force In Upholding the Claim |
|
Without people willing to exert force on their behalf, they have nothing, own nothing.

9. Ignorance is no excuse |
|
Power of the masters is granted by the teabaggers and their undying faithfulness to idiocy.

Can't have an army without the foots. As a wise old man once said, "Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows it?"

all idiots and to think otherwise is sheer folly. The followers are the ones who vote their masters into office.

21. When the Working Class & The Poor.... |
|
...realize we have more in common with each other than we have in common with the Ruling Class Leadership of BOTH Political Parties, real "CHANGE" will become possible. As long as "they" can keep us divided, nothing will really change. Glenn Beck did his part last weekend. Robert Gibbs did his part the week before.
